Fruit and Vegetable Markets.

New YORK, Nov. o-By special request Of the
publisher of the News, l have again resumed
Geographic quotations on Georgia and Florida
produce for the benefit aud information of the
truck growers and it shall be my aim TO make
them complete and correct as possible, and
will not exaggerate prices. consequently they
can be relied upon. Through the courtesy Of
the MORNING NEWS | desire to say further that
we have every reason to look forward for large
crops of both Georgia and Florida produce and
we Will have active markets here and much en-
couragement TO expect remunerative prices for
certain spscialties in vegetables, and yet the
success of the shipper and grower will depend
largely on the kind of produce planted, quality
and manner in which it Is packed, etc. Durf 1p
many years of experience in handling Southern
produce In this market have found q at choice
marks of either frnit or vegetables are not neg
lected or left on the market after the business
Is over, and even in our greatest gluts. These
brands of goods generally sell for fairly re-
munerative prices; whereas inferior goods, being
faulty either from improper packing or moi
uniform in quality. or having been packed toe
soon or held too long tefore gathering, all of
which tend to deteriorate the quality to the
buyer, and the accumulation of these goods On
the market is what breaks prices and seriously
effects the price obtained for the superior
ticle. would therefore urge the necessity of
all growers and shippers to aim to have good
quality rather than quantity, as twenty five OF
fifty packages of choice fruit or vegetables will
frequently show better net results than donble

that the expense in packing. transporting, ETC.
is the same on package Of inferior as on one
Of the best.
At pr, ssnt there Is demand for snap beans
egg plant and cucumbers, which are already
coming to our market, some from Florida an
others from Savannah, and this demand will
continue throughout the coming winter Other
vegetables will not pay to send forward untE
after Jan. 1. The outlook is specially favorable
for the spring potato crop, from the fact that
our Northern supply is very short and showing
already indications of rot; the demand will
therefore be very large for the new crop.
1t is gratifying to note the encouraging out
look for all lines of business throughout the
country, and which is a favorable feature for
the coming market on vegetables.
Allow me to thank my patrons throughout the
South for their many favors in the past and
assure them il will be my pleasure to serve them
to the best of my ability in the future. Very
truly yours, G, S. PALMER,
